Chapter 1420: Don’t Buy Clothes For Useless Creatures

Since Han Shu said so, of course Wang Xiaoqin was willing.
Which woman dislikes new clothes?
She had not had any new clothes for many years. The Han family was poor. With her in-laws’ attitude, a daughter-in-law like her who had no sons really had no standing in the family.
Fortunately, Han Shu was a good man. He was willing to support their daughter so she could continue to go to school. This gave Wang Xiaoqin some hope.
Han Shu brought Wang Xiaoqin shopping.
At that time, the markets had opened long ago. In fact, many went south to purchase clothing to sell at roadside stalls. Also, at that time, the clothing quality was very good. Even roadside stalls had nice things.
He bought Wang Xiaoqin a new quilted jacket and a sweater before they went home.
The next day, Han Shu brought Wang Xiaoqin and all their New Year shopping back to the Han house. Mother and Father Han were waiting at home. Han Yu and Han Chuanzong were on their break.
Han Yu had been at home for the past few days. Han Chuanzong was there too. Actually, Han Shu knew all too well that with Wang Xiaoqin away, his parents would certainly treat Han Yu like their maid. But Han Jing was also on her break, so he did not worry about leaving his daughter at home.
With Han Jing there, Han Yu’s life would not be too bad.
When Han Chuanzong saw that Han Shu was back, he came over and said, “Elder Brother, what did you buy for me?”
Han Shu smiled and brought the things into the house. He took the items out. “We earned a little money this year, so we can have a proper celebration. We bought meat and fish. Your sister-in-law will make braised meat later.
“These new clothes are for you. Try them on and see if they fit.”
Han Chuanzong was delighted. He quickly changed into his new clothes. After all, he was a child, and they loved new clothes. Boys were no exception.
Han Yu stood there submissively, just watching.
Han Shu’s heart ached when he saw that. He smiled and said, “Yu’er, come here. You have one too.”
Han Yu was stunned. She had clothes too?
Li Qinglang had already bought her new clothes. She thought that she would not have a share this New Year. But to her surprise, she did.
Her shocked expression made Han Shu’s heart ache.
He was her father, and her parents were the ones earning the money. But Han Yu thought nothing of Han Chuanzong having new clothes. Instead, she was shocked when he bought her clothes. Clearly, she did not expect to have any new clothes.
This time, they had bought a new quilted jacket for Han Yu. When Li Qinglang had brought her to buy clothes earlier, the weather was not that cold and those clothes were not thick enough.
Now it was winter and so cold. A new jacket would be a very pretty item to celebrate the new year.
Mother Han had been quite pleased, but when she saw that Han Shu had actually bought new clothes for Han Yu, she pulled a long face. “Why buy new clothes for her? Are they free? Old clothes are good enough. She’s just a girl. Why spend that kind of money?”
Han Shu said nonchalantly, “Yu’er is just 13 years old after the New Year. Her parents have been away for so long, but she didn’t cry or make a fuss. She even did the chores. It’s only right that we should buy her some new clothes to reward her.
“As her parents, we work so hard so that our children can have a better life.”
Mother Han frowned. These words displeased her, but she was not very cultured and did not discern the sarcasm in her son’s words.
She only said, “You just need to ensure Chuanzong has a good life. He’s the future of the Han family. She’s a useless creature.”
“She’s my daughter. Even if she’s useless, I’m happy to support her.”
“You…”
